In episode 25 of the 5 Minute Disasters podcast, we delve into the strange and tragic story of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. In just five minutes, we recount how a massive storage tank in Boston’s North End burst, unleashing a 25-foot wave of molasses that tore through the streets, destroying buildings and claiming 21 lives. This bizarre disaster not only caused widespread devastation but also led to significant changes in safety regulations and corporate accountability. Join us as we explore the events and aftermath of one of history’s most unusual and devastating industrial accidents.
